Navas: We Will Face One of the Greatest Teams in the World, and This Will Determine the Final
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder João Neves spoke to the press following the team's qualification for the UEFA Champions League final at the expense of Bayern Munich. The team won the first leg 5-4 and drew the second leg 1-1 at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening.
The player said in his interview: "We will be facing one of the greatest teams in the world, Arsenal, and we are ready. Our coaching staff is doing an excellent job in preparation. We trust them, and they trust us."
He added, "In football, nothing guarantees 100% that the better team will win; rather, it's the team that makes a difference in the details."
He emphasized: "I came here with a very clear project about what they expected from me, and we are on our way to achieving it. Winning the Champions League was never a goal in itself, but rather fighting and giving our all, and this is the best way to reach such moments."
He continued: "We are very satisfied with our journey so far, and I congratulate Bayern; they are a great team. After us, in my opinion, they are the best in Europe and the world. We have succeeded in proving, both at home and away, that we are the best team. We knew how to attack, defend, endure, and breathe with and without the ball, and this is what great teams do."
He noted, "It was a tough match, I'm too tired to even talk, but I'm very happy with our performance in the Champions League."
He concluded about reaching the final: "It's a final match, football is sometimes unfair. You can play better or worse, win or lose, everything will be determined by the details, and that's what we will prepare for. Two consecutive finals, whether it's a win or a loss, that is already a great source of satisfaction."
